I have never had an Issue with my Cisco DPQ3212 eMTA, I rarely have to reboot it, and that is usually for Internet related issues not phone issues. I switched from the outdoor ARRIS NIU to the indoor eMTA several years ago. My entire home-office is on a Tripp Lite 1500VA 900W UPS Battery Back Up this UPS will keep me up for 45mins w/ the PC running (~125W) or several hours with the PC in sleep mode.
Looks like Cox could put the ARRIS TM3402A in to FULL bridge mode.Then you would use LAN / Ethernet port # 1 to connect your own router. Not sure if Cox is willing to do this or not.
Thank you bryaninphx for your report on converting from the Arris Cornerstone NIU. It's comforting to hear from someone and that it's working well.
My understanding is that if you want to use the TM3402 as your cable modem, you can do so. Although it has 4 ethernet ports on it, only port #1 works, so you need to plug it into a router unless you only have one device.
